' PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 263,861, dated September 5, 1882.

Application filed May 20, 1882.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT G. GONLEY, of Richmond, in the countyof Wayne and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

This invention has for its objects to provide a pump which may be used either as a submergedpump or a surface pump, as may be required; and it consists in certain new and improved combinations and arrangements of parts, as more fully hereinafter specified, and set forth in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view of my improved pump. Fig. 2 represents a detached viewof one of the packin gs employed in connection with the pump. Fig. 3 represents an inverted view of the top section of the pump-cylinder, showing the packing-ring located therein. Fig. 4. represents a longitudinal section of a pump, showing a modification of my invention. Fig. 5 represents a detached view of one of the valves; and Fig. 6 represents a detached View of the connection to which the pump lever is attached and a portion of the discharge-pipe.

The letter A indicates a cast-metal cylinder, having flanges at the top and bottom, as indicated by the letters B and G.

The letter D indicates a metallic disk, provided with a central screw-threaded boss, E, to which is secured an induction-pipe, F, to be of the pump-cylinder by means of screw-bolts, a leather or other washer, G, being interposed to make a tightjoint.

Theletter H indicates ahollow piston, which, as shown in Fig. 1, is provided with a flange, I, at its top, to which is secured a hollow metallic section or chamber, K, which has a flange, L, at its lower edge, and is secured to the flange of the piston by means of screwbolts, an interposed washer, M, being em ployed to make a tight joint. From said section or chamber extends upward an eductionpipe, N,

which at its upper end is provided with a bent discharge-s 'iout, P. (Shown in Fig. B of the drawings.) The said spout is provided with a bifurcated extension, It, to which the operating-lever is pivoted, the eduction-pipe serving as a reciprocating piston-rod.

The letter S indicates an annular recessed packing-section, provided with a flange, T, by means of which it may be secured by bolts or otherwise to the flange at the upper end of the pnmpcylinder, and U'a packing of leather or other similar material, slotted on opposite sides, as indicated by the letter V. In the recess in said packing-section indicated by the letter IV are secured the split packing-rings Y Z, arranged so as to break joint and encircle the piston with an elastic pressure.

The letter A indicates a valve located in the lower part of the pump cylinder, over the induction-port, which is adapted to open and close the same in the usual manner.

B indicates a valve located above the opening at the top of the hollow piston, adapted to open and close the said aperture as the piston is operated.

In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the upper chamber is attached directly to the flange of the pump-cylinder and incloses the upper portion of the hollow piston, which is provided with a solid piston-rod, G, and is perforated at intervals D on top. The piston-rod is shouldered, as indicated by the letter E, and has attached loosely to it the valve B, adapted to play between such shoulder and its seat,on thetop of the hollow piston. V

The operation of my invention will be readily understood, in connection with the above, without further description.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat cut, is-

In combination with the pump-cylinder and the hollow piston providedwith valves, as described, the packing-chamber and split packing-rings, and the packing located be- In testimony whereof I affix my signature, 1o tween the flanges B T, substantially as speciin presence of two witnesses, this 24th day of tied. a Mareh,1882.
